THE INDIAN RIVER RANGE WAR
By Maurice Kildare
FACTUAL REPRESENTATION
OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES
Folks, the inhumane treatment of our native American Indian remains one of the most questionable recorded events of pioneer days. In this rare writing, seems that Arizona cattlemen were losing strays and stragglers to Indians but they had noticed that after the whites broke camp, the Indians would descend on the trash and gather it up for food for their starving groups. To stop that, one cattleman used the trash of tins of baking powder and put in strychnine to kill the Indians. The poison did its job and here is the story entitled
in a classic, collector’s special Indian Issue consisting of many great Indian stories and beautiful illustrations. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive
I hope you appreciate the effort.
Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
